failed to install plugin

[okapior]

Hi Henry.
I tried to install your plugin for Homebridge DHT12 sensors and failed to install. Log is below.
Do you have any clue what can cause it?
I tried to install with and without sudo command, result is the same:
I am using hoobs on Raspi 4

Your help will be appreciated.

Hi,
you need to install it in your home directory.
Check with echo $HOME and make sure that you run npm install in this directory.

Hi.
Didn't work. the same error as output.
Tried with and without sudo command, result the same.

Your permissions for your home directory are incorrect. If the home directory of your user is /home then the user was not correctly created. Normally each user should have their own home directory in /home/{username}. You can not install the plugin as root.

Edit: If you use hoobs then there is something wrong with the permissions. I do not use hoobs but can say that the plugin works on a stock linux system.
